With tax season upon us in many countries it is that time where scammers try to take advantage of the situation and lead you to tax-related malicious links.
McAfee has seen a large number of emails purporting to be from Intuit, the company that makes QuickBooks bookkeeping software.
McAfee anti-spam products have been detecting and blocking these messages for quite some time, but the messages are so convincing that our own customers have been reporting the blocks to us as false-positives!
Also if a user should click on this link. The SonicWall in place will block the site.
If your Site does not have McAfee Anti-Spam or a SonicWall Firewall please call us for more information. 254-770-1210
